Congress and AAP responsible for sacrilege incidents, says Sukhbir

30 Jan

Bathinda: Shiromani Akali Dal’s president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Saturday said if anybody was involved in sacrilege incidents in Punjab it was Congress and Aam Aadmi Party.

Addressing a huge gathering here in favour of party candidate Sant Balbir Singh Ghunas, SAD president said the Congress and the Gandhi family committed the biggest sacrilege ever against the Sikh community by attacking Golden Temple with tanks and artillery.

“This same party is responsible for the massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi. How can you ever forgive this party and Gandhi family”, he asked. Badal said as for AAP it’s leader Arvind Kejriwal was responsible for bull dozing the historic “piau” at Sisganj Gurdwara in Delhi.

He said the incidents of sacrilege in Punjab were also traced back to AAP. “AAP leaders openly disrespected the Sri Guru Granth Sahab by comparing it with their election manifesto. Even the sacrilege of the holy Quran was traced to an AAP MLA of Delhi”.

Dy CM added that Kejriwal has now entered into a dangerous conspiracy with radical elements who wanted to spoil the peace and communal harmony of Punjab. He asked the people how they could ever tolerate an outsider like Kejriwal to rule over Punjab. “Don’t let this Thug Army Party (TAP)” while referring to AAP “to enter Punjab at any cost”.

Speaking about SAD manifesto, Badal said that the party had always delivered on its promises.

“Now we have promised to waive off loans of all small farmers besides promising Rs 100 bonus on both wheat and paddy.

We have also taken a decision to provide five lakh pucca houses to the houseless besides distributing five kg sugar @ Rs 10 per kg and two kg ghee @ Rs 25 per kg to poor”, he added.
